repeating the old assertion that the

ner and word he acted as il he would
like to have the privilege of tearing into
pieces all who differed from him. Twice
he went through the motions of uncap-
ping hell" and pretending to look into
the pit. He said that he was sometimes
asked how he could be so happy at the
thoughts of heaven wher he knew he
could look over the battlements and see
some of his friends in hell. He replied,

looking over the battlements 20 see who
were fools enough to go to hell" He
also denounced Universalism as the
meanest OF all religions, worse than in
fidelity, and nobody but fools believed
it." He warned his people to keep out of
the way of the devils shot-guns," as
he called Universalist preachers. "Some
people" he said, "call me crank; but
had rather be crank in heaven than a
smart Aleck in hell" Such are few
samples of the delicious morsels which
this newly-sanctified man served out to
his congregation, who were far from
being serious. On the contrary they
laughed heartily at his almost brutal
and really blasphemous assertions and
illustrations. The only times when there
was anything like solemnity were when

DEATH OF REV. G. E. FORBES.

The Leader of last week brings partic-
ulars of the death Of this esteemed broth
or, noted in our last:
We are panied to learn of the death of an
other of our clergymen. Rev. G. E. Forbes.
pastor of the Uniyersalst church in Canton,
N. Y, died suddenly of pneumonia, at the
residence of his brother law, Mr.. Hackett,
in Potsdam, N. Y, on Monday afternoon,
Jan. 3, 1887. He had not been well for a
year, but was able to preach and perform his
pastoral duties until two weeks before his
death. He preached for the last time in the
Canton church, Sunday, Dec. 10, and assisted
Rev. E. j. Chaffee in the services at Pots
dam, Sunday, Dec. 26. His end was peace
full and happy. Funeral services were held
in Potsdam on Wednesday, Jan. 5, when
Rev. DIR. Atwood offered prayer and Rev. E..
j. Chaffee, a schoolmate, paid beautiful
and feeling tribute to the memory of his
friend. On Thursday, services were held in
the Universalist church in Canton, which
was tittingly draped. The house was crowded
by sympathizing and sorrow-stricken con-
gregation. Members of all sects united in
paying unto him the respect that was the
natural effect of pure, blameless and use
full life.
The choir sang fitting hymns and chants,
addresses were made by Rev. Drs. Lee, At
wood and Gaines, on Mr.. Forbes connection
with the Theological School, the loss to the
parish and the community and the solemn
lessons which this event teaches, and prayer
was offered by President Gaines. The Ma
sons took charge of the funeral services. A
long procession followed the remains to the
Railroad Station, whence his body was con-
veyed to West Sumner, Me-, where it rests
by the side of his first wife. The parish in
Canton is now left without pastor.
Rev. G. E. Forbes was born in Paris, Me-,
Nov. 3. 1916, was educated in common schools
and in Paris Hill Academy, married in 1868,
Miss Eliza G. Chandler, of West Sumner,
and settled down in business. His wife died
in April, 1870. and he then turned his atten-
ton towards the ministry. With his brother,
Henry P, he entered the Canton Theological
School in 1870 and graduated in June, 1873.
His services were Immediately sought for,
and for nearly fourteen years until his death
he served as pastor. His pastorates were
Marshfield, VT, 1880; Calais, Vt, 1SS0-S2;
New Gloucester, Me-, 1S82-S3; Canton, N. Y,
lsS3-87.
As a student, pastor, husband, father
and friend. he was kind and faithful, aud
conscientiously endeavored to perform all
duties Immediately devolving upon him. He
was one of our most devoted and useful
preachers and gathered many souls into the
fold of Christ. His life was brief, but its
useful results large. He was universally es-
teemed in all the places where he labored.
He leaves a wife, little boy, an aged father
and step mother, two brothers, one Prof. H.
p. Forbes of the Theological School, and
four sisters in Maine.

THE ANTELOPE VALLEY OF NORTH DAKOTA.


For the first ten or twelve miles after leav-
ing Rugby Junction, that thriving town where
the Manitoba road forks, one line going to-
ward the Turtle Mountains and the other
vending its way Pacificwards, passed along
up the beautiful Antelope valley. And right
here, let me say, that cannot refrain from
giving you something more than a mere
glimpse of this region. To our left, some
six or seven miles distant, are the timbered
slopes of the Mouse River hills, the stock
mems ranges, while stretching far away be-
hind us and for several miles in front, is the
fertile basin of deep, black soil, known as
the Antelope valley.
The land is evidently of the best character,
perfectly free from alkali and having ample
natural drainage. The present population of
the valley is composed of Americans, Cana
dams and Scandanavians, the former class
predominating in numbers. Now that the
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Railway
passes through the centre of this valley, and
large and growing town supplies good
home market, immigration will doubtless
increase rapidly. The settlers nearly all live
in sod houses and are industrious and enter
prising. Lest l should be misunderstood,
let me say that sod house, instead of being
put up merely because it is SO cheap, is often
erected by quite well-to-do farmers, who see
in buildings an investment which returns no
interest, while the same amount invested here
in stock, will soon double. Again, sod houses
are often the most comfortable of dwellings,
and when well built, seem to add attraction
to the landscape, while the pretentious frame
structure would often be out of place amid
this beautiful natural scenery.

INDIANA NOTES.
FROM REV. R. N. JOHN.

The Executive Committee of the Uni.
versalist Convention of Indiana met at In
dianapolis December 7,with all present ex-
cept Brs Trusler and Buifa. The Superin-
tendent gave succinct account of work
done since the first of September last. He
had attended to the renting of the Con-
vention farm; attended the General Con-
vention at Akron. o.; visited Roam,
Pendleton, Waldron, North Vernon, La
fayette and other points with view of
working them into circuits; carefully in
vestigated the condition of affairs at
Whitesville, and set on foot measures
looking to the lifting of the debt of our
parish there; had supervised the publica.
ton and distribution of the Reporter and
had collected and copied in suitable
book the names of more than 1000 Indi-
ana Universalists for future reference.
The Superintendent further stated
that sickness and an empty purse had seri-
ously interfered with his work. The time
seemed ripe to raise our contemplated Per-
manent Missionary Fund but the Conven-
ton treasury was empty and successful
canvass could not be made without money.
The Secretary reported that she had
sent out appeals to all who had subscrib-
ed at the Convention, and that she had re-
ceived less than $40 since its adjournment.
He also stated that the General Conven-
ton had voted 5000 for missionary pur-
poses in Indiana on conditions similar to
former grants. The Superintendent and
Secretary were both instructed to again
press upon the friends throughout the
State the necessity Of paying in promptly
the whole or part of the pledges made
and to urgently solicit aid Of those who
had not in any way contributed to mis-
sionary work. A careful examination of
receipts and disbursements disclosed the
fact that nearly 800 was due the Super
intendent; that more than $3.50 of pledges
were yet unpaid, that in addition, $500
more were needed to successfully COM
plete the work of the year. The Super
intendent was instructed to give particu-
lar attention to the saving of the Whites
vile property, and formation of the Per-
manent Missionary Fund. Adjourned to
meet again in Indianapolis, March Is,
1887.
Elmwood
At this point Br. Osborn and other
friends had secured the occupancy of the
(Campbellite) Christian church for the
second Sunday in December. When the
Superintendent arrived to fill the ap.
pointment he found protracted meeting
in progress, but the minister in charge
Elder Perkins, OF Indianapolis, very hon.
orsbly gave way, and urged his congrega,
ton to attend our services, saying, that il
we had the truth to present they wanted
to hear it, and that if we presented error
they wanted to be apprised of it also. SC
that they could shun it. He said he would
attend in person and listen attentive
ly throughout. This he did and assisted
very kindly in leading the singing. The
morning discourse was based upon Acts
viii, 30, "Understandest thou what thou
readest?"
1t was argued that the Scriptures con-
tanned revelation OF the character ol
God, and of the duty, interest and fna
destination OF mankind. That the reason
why SO many erroneous interpretations o
